Recurrent serous macular detachment after topical ocular hypotensive medication

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We document the recurrence of a CSMD in a patient subsequent to the instillation of topical ocular hypotensive medications and its resolution on discontinuation of therapy. An independent cause or causes contributing to the development of CSMD other than the use of topical ocular hypotensive medications cannot be ruled out in this case, neither can it be considered dissociated from the use of these drugs. We recommend that patients with VTS, those with a history of CSMD or having developed recurrent episodes of CSMD requiring management with topical ocular hypotensive medications, be cautiously monitored for the possible occurrence or exacerbation of CSMD.
